mircea_popescu: "The law, known
as Section 377A, was retained in 2007 after a two-day debate in parliament where related provisions that made heterosexual oral and anal sex a crime were repealed."
mircea_popescu: in todays heretic tales, using bechamel sauce

assbot: Scientists Have Discovered an Activity Just
as Pleasurable
as Sex, Drugs and Gambling - Mic
mircea_popescu: money works the same way, there's us and there's reddit, and there's no real path for the redditard to get in the wot. sure, he could, but
as the article says, "The small chip camera owner cannot cross the forbidden zone for 30 BTC reasons, and even if he did, he wouldn’t have the necessary skills."
mircea_popescu: so, no, it's no longer a profession. it's dead
as its own thing, no matter who does what to whom.
mircea_popescu: bounce anyway, so stated our dispute boils down to me saying that it is upon you either to present an outside criteria or else yield. (which is why i assumed your criteria is presented, and summarized it
as "pre digital"). my point generally is that you can't present any meaningful criteria anyway.
mircea_popescu: jurov i bring
as proof the difficulty real fags have in dating.
bounce: hmhm yet it's doing it,
as a side effect of its market research and segmentation science.
mircea_popescu: not so many. just
as many
as poorly managed youth existed. it's a lengthy history full of gaps.
bounce: there's a market for hand-painted portraits just
as there is a market for professionally-done photographs. the argument re the latter is that the marketeering is busily making the required machinery unaffordable. my point was the mechanism at work.
mircea_popescu: bounce anyway, to summarize : the discussion
as to whether a profession is doing ok or not, or even is still alive, can not rely on a discussion on they who call themselves followers.
mircea_popescu: i suppose since nancy reagan was hiring court astrologers the argument can be brought that the colonies were slower on the uptake, but be that
as it may...
mircea_popescu: actually dali should probably get mention
as the chief marketing whore rather than those two. makes little difference anyway.
ben_vulpes: but when the codemachine could run just
as easily on 60/year...
mircea_popescu: punkman: saint john of las vegas ? << think I've seen that, what's mp's take on it << i thought it was somewhat similar to dead man. just
as totally fucking absurd and meaningless, but not unpleasant neveretheless.

mircea_popescu: whether someone thinks the sun comes out for their merits or for their sins is entirely their problem,
as it were.
mircea_popescu: maybe pankkake tried to generate a bitcoin address, itcame out
as 1systemdsux and his head explody
mircea_popescu: I wonder how many people hit on incredibly improbable but bothersome stuff like 1smallC0K or 1yoMOMMAisHO or 1JeSuSgAy w/e and
as a result think bitcoin is evil and gather around the hater sites.
ben_vulpes: the downside to an unlimited buy wall
as a consulting shop is the imperative to eat through
as much of it
as possible in the time allotted
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: hmm, anyone taking bets on the name of the chick that informed mr fox
as to the intricacies of the russian soul ? << even money on lolita
pete_dushenski: "So… You judge a society
as successful if it has enough money for a vibrant arts scene but not enough to alleviate the effects of poverty? Call me crazy, but I don’t think the first of us started forming this grand experiment I call society just so we can finger-paint together." << lulzy contravex comment o' the day
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal thestringpuller people in l2. same
as voice.
cazalla: <thestringpuller> slow news weekend <<< yup, i think the article

cazalla: used is ok,
as long
as it is not written by terrorists
mircea_popescu: saturday night tho ? ZERO! i don't mean, most of the fat ones with good business didn't bother, leav ing just a few of the sketchier, hungrier fellows. no, i mean exactly zero.
as if saturday night is not a time. not part of the world. does not exist.
punkman: was same price
as some Nestle shit, and not much sugar, not a bad deal
mircea_popescu: by looking at what scammers claim
as part of their scamtext, you can guess what the general sea of idiots imagines is going on.
cazalla: so october is 1 month down for qntra, if anyone has criticism
as well
as feedback on what you liked/disliked and want to see more/less of, i'm all ears
mircea_popescu: are you aware that trade
as-is is credit-supported so people don't actually need to put up even the actual value of the items ?
mircea_popescu: the problem are all the edge cases. did you catch that discussion in the logs,
as to what localbitcoins is vulnerable to ?
mircea_popescu: anyway! this is how services such
as localbitcoins work.
gernika: mircea_popescu So in a case where two parties have no information about each other (which is essentially the same
as when one party is in the WoT and one isn't, or when one party wants to do a trade they're not rated for), a nash equilibrium allows a way to incentivize both parties to complete the transaction faithfully by forcing both parties to risk the value of the item being traded contingent on the trade being completed
mircea_popescu: you mean lolis
as in freshman, 19yo womenz mats_cd03 ?!
mircea_popescu: "he fucked, like, a real woman" valley girl speak
as opposed to "he fucked a real woman" nohomo bro speak
adlai reveals himself
as having not even read the materials associated with ether
jurov: that's
as good
as anything
ben_vulpes: same reason
as i; to practice writing under someone with a cane
mircea_popescu: i was going to send you a pack of biscuits, peanut for the dog, chocolate for the fox. none for you, ofcourse,
as men don't need to eat. sadly thestringpuller doesn't seem ready to take orders still.
thestringpuller: Pierre_Rochard: Do people use that? It's really insecure
as is.
mircea_popescu: 'd like a "day" name
as a single line between the "home | log | search | bash | stats | wiki" and "prev/next" to be settable with an assbot command
BingoBoingo: Still not
as fucked
as the original submitter's time frame for resolving it... A month before the season ends.

undata: adlai: half in here imagine themselves a mongol
as they sit hunched over a keyboard
undata: should the ruler not care about the continued breathing of the peasants, the peasants are best off making themselves
as useless a burden to him
as possible
thestringpuller: Random and off topic. Pierre_Rochard was telling me about a country whose economy was riddle with Ponzi Schemes to the point real businesses were losing value because the ponzi's outnumbered the real businesses. I think it's Albania
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_schemes_in_Albania Maybe someone can help shed more light
as he didn't know what the country was at the time.
mircea_popescu: anyway, any frustrated desire is
as entitled
as any other. once it satisfies itself so it's no longer a desire it will have gained its rightful death.
mircea_popescu: you don't like the ulterior effects of socialism, but you do like some of the premises, such
as "X for all",
as in, "a future for all", "a chance for all" etc.
mircea_popescu: about
as good science
as krugman's economics or obama's peace.
thestringpuller: jurov: well, chtuhlhu would certainly be "perceived
as worthy" << unless someone like Cartman befriends him.
jurov: well, chtuhlhu would certainly be "perceived
as worthy"
mircea_popescu: specifically, "What fucking plans ? Why does the dictator have to absolutely have some sort of plans, aforethought ? Maybe he’s a dictator in the proper sense, because his group perceived him
as worthy. He didn’t go to them, like an obnoxious lawyer spawn, with a list of whatever items are fashionable - promises, intentions, qualities, college degrees - to ask to be made a dictator and thus have the gaping void and
undata acknowledges that a lot of people "doing it right" got smashed to pieces when the USSR collapsed
as well
mircea_popescu: and if putin keeps hammering him in the head all over the middle east, your scrip may be
as good
as the confederate's.
mircea_popescu: this is the quintesential broken approach. there's "food"
as you're talking, there's "food"
as he's talking.
chetty: sadly
as long
as people keep looking for a 'ticket' this will continue
mircea_popescu: just,
as people stopped trying alchemy they rejected it, it's all therein contained.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform self-styled "regulators" love to whine pathetic about the "irresponsible risk seeking behaviours" of banks or whoever, conveniently omitting to mention that it's the disease of the system, it's what socialism necessarily breeds (through blindness), and that they themselves took some insane gambles. such
as the 50 year "let's finance pseudoscience, who knows,\ maybe it pays off"
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (not the literal qwerty, but the 'platonic' qwerty seen
as the overall human failing where folks agree on buggy shit and then cement it in place through 'sunk cost') << fwiw i disagree with this assesment. english is broken because it's a commercial pigdin, language without a country. the old languages of yurp are actually fine, and to this day more powerful than any synthetic syntax.
mircea_popescu: adlai> we could define that the turd network doesn't count
as output, since it's communication between computers and not output to the user <<< reading this sort of shit makes my head bleed
adlai: what languages would you count
as broken?
adlai: we could define that the turd network doesn't count
as output, since it's communication between computers and not output to the user
mircea_popescu: adlai it royally sucks
as a "philosophy", or "economic theory", too.
mircea_popescu:
as human history presently stands, the reality of such memory loss is actually supported
